I’d also add the wah bit from Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower for exactly the same reason.
The solo to White Room is, indeed, an outstanding example of using the wah for vocal emphasis.
It's often said that this is the first ever use of a wah pedal on record, I don't know if that's true.
What I do know for a fact is that a young Jimmy Page is playing the rhythm guitar in the background.

I love wah and Marc along with Clapton are probably the ones I would cite as (I hope) influences in the way I use one.
Kotzen has some great wah tones as well.

I mentioned Phoenix for Wah...Don't know why I thought of that one first..
Now I know exactly how it was done I'm even more impressed. He was a hell of a guitarist.
About fifteen years ago Fender released a pretty accurate repro of the De'Armond volume/tone pedal. It wasn't available for long. I managed to get one and can confirm that it's akin to patting head while rubbing tummy. Quite a knack. The wah pedals that appeared a couple of years after Big Jim's recordings were much easier to use.
I owned an original DeArmond at one time and I never could get the hang of the side-to-side tone sweep, even without trying to coordinate it with the up/down volume.
